Did you know that March is National Craft Month? There are so many cool crafts that you make make with your kids. With Spring right around the corner, the kids and decided to take an empty Tampico jug and make bird feeders! This is an easy craft that you kids can make and show off their creativity. When you are finished, you can hang it outside!
Best of all, a Tampico Jug Bird Feeder can easily be made with things you have around the house. We used a hanger, an empty Tampico jug, sticks from my yard, and some leftover stickers we had from other craft projects. If you want to see how to make this, check out my post on Tampico!
We hung our Tampico Bird Feed outside! As you can see, that long hanger came in handy!
Are you making any crafts for National Craft Month? How’d the kids and I do on our Tampico Bird Feed?
I’d be a little worried the sticker would be bad for the birds.
I had no idea that March was craft month! How cool! But oh now…I barely have 2 weeks left to do some crafts. I did most of them last month LOL!
I love your bird feeder DIY. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I didn’t think about using a milk container. You are absolutely creative. Thank you for sharing this. Definitely will keep it in mind!
This would be such a fun craft to make. I would love to attract pretty birds in my yard!
How cute is that! I’m a backyard birdwatcher and we always have several feeders at a time in our yard. I can’t wait to make this one with my grandson!
What an awesome craft! My daughter would have fun with this one! Will have to try it!
I’m sure kids would have so much fun making this! Thanks for sharing.
How cute! I wasn’t aware that it was National Craft Month. However, I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I am at Michaels. 🙂
That definitely looks like a fun and easy craft to do with the kiddos!
I need to remember to save our next milk jug. great idea. my son is really into birds right now so he would enjoy this.
We don’t have a tree outside the house to hang a bird feeder. This sounds so cool. It’s my first time to know about the National Craft Month.
My little one and I would have a wonderful time making this. Thank you for the tutorial.
What a cute bird feeder! I didn’t know it was National Craft Month, either. I should know things like this. Ha!
great idea and cute !!!! thanks for sharing
That is so cute. We’ve been saving our jugs to create fairy houses out of them. I’ll have to show this to kiddo for another idea.
Good idea! My kids would love to make this. I think we’ll have to add this to our agenda.
I didn’t even realize it was National Craft Month! I am not a very crafty person, lol. This would be fun for the kids to make, though. It would even make a good Mother’s Day gift for the grandmas and myself!!
Awww! What a cute little idea! Just in time for spring.
I haven’t made one of these since I was a kid. I will be making this during the weekend with my 3 nieces. They will love this!
This is great! I love doing crafts with my kiddos and we’ve never done anything like this before! I’m sure my kids would love it! Very cute!
What a creative idea for a jug!
What a cute idea! I bet my boys would love to make this!
This is such a great project for kids to do this spring. It looks like it would be so much fun. Thanks for sharing!
It looks great, with lots of color. The real test is if the birds like it. Are they coming to eat at your feeder?
How neat and easy to make. we love watching birds so the kids would enjoy this. Thank you for the craft idea.
Very cute craft idea. I think it would be a great earth day project
I always forget about the simplest craft ideas! My kids would love this! I know what we will be doing on the next inside day!
This such a cute craft. I love all the butterfly stickers that are on it. I will have to make one or two of these with the kiddos.
Such a cute idea! Thank you for sharing.
I did not know that March is National Craft Month…where have I been? I love the colorful embellishments on your milk jug birdfeeder!
I haven’t seen something like this in years, it’s throwing me back hardcore into my childhood! I always loved getting crafting as a kid with my mom and she would make me do these all the time. She’s a huge bird lover and still is, except now we make them houses together from wood lol.
Did now know it was National Craft Month – thank you for sharing that and the great idea for kids – I have not been creative with crafts – but, my son would have so enjoyed this one – great steps to making it – thank you 🙂
What a fun craft, my girls would love to do this! Thank you for sharing.
That is such a brilliant idea. My husband and son thought of creating a bird feeder before but never got around to doing it. I will show this to them.
This is a cute and fun idea. Also a great way to encourage the kids and show them how to upcycle!
I will pass this onto my neighbor she had a bird feeder that could use an update. She isn’t very crafty so this will be great.
The birds will be so happy with their new feeder. I had no idea that March was craft month. We better get crafting!
What a great idea! I should make these with my kids over spring break.
We’re just starting to see birds moving back for the season now. This looks really easy and we have enough milk jugs for everyone to make one!
This is a cool idea. I need to put out new feeders this year.
This is very pretty! Looks like an easy craft to do with the kids!
We love making nature stations – and I know my boys would love to make one like this! So creative!
Does anyone know if birdseed goes bad? I bought a big bag of it and meant to make TP and peanut butter feeders for our yard with the kids and then never did it! This is a great upcycle project!
What a simple way to craft and create an environment for the birds to enjoy. I bet the kids loved helping out!
What an adorable craft to make this time of year! The snow it thawing in most places, and all of the birds are flying north for spring! Love it!
This is a perfect Spring recycled project for our home. The kids will have so much fun making these!
Looks great! We should try making one of those. 🙂
I had no idea that it was national craft month!! This is a cute craft project for spring!
Such a creative use of the jug! Hope I can make something as creative too!
I bet kids really get into this idea. It’s easy and fun!
This is a great idea and easy to make! It really helps the birds, because it’s tough for them to find food in the winter.
What a great idea! And it helps feed our feathered friends!
I had no idea that March is national craft month! I better get crafting then, I love this milk jug idea I will be saving our to make one with the kids.
This is totally an awesome idea indeed for making a bird feeder. I will have to make some of these with my nieces kids for sure. They would get a kick out of making these. Thanks for sharing.
What a great way to repurpose the jug. I know the kids would love this too!! We have a big old crow who tries to get in our little bird feeder, this size would be way better for him, lol
I love these! We’ve made the bird feeders with all of our kids and always had a blast 🙂
Love this a lot, it’s so easy to make and way easier than buying a bird feeder!
Finally a great use for those large Tampico jugs! And the fact that it is a spring craft makes it perfect for now
Cute bird feeder!! I haven’t made one like this in years!! I will have to make one with my nieces/nephews soon!!
This is a great craft to make with the kids!! Especially with spring around the corner the birds will be coming around more often!
I had no idea that March was national craft month. I learn something new every year. I love the bird feeder that you made. I bet the birds will enjoy this. I’ll have to make something for the birds when our tree is a bit bigger.
I love this idea, such a great and simple idea to make a bird feeder!
What a fun craft. I made something like this with my kids when they were little.
Ah that is a cute craft I’d love to make with my son. He’d love to hang this out for the birds.
Omg how cute is this bird feeder?!? I’m definitely going to have to make one with my princess! She will love it 🙂
I bet the birds LOVE that feeder! I made a tire seat today! 🙂
Aw, I love how colorful it is! Those birdies sure could use a little help out there during these last days of winter!
I would love to do this with my kids. They are obsessed with birds.
This looks like such a cool craft and it is so easy to make!! I will have to give this a try a great way to recycle a milk carton and put it to a great new use.
I remember making bird feeders when I was younger out of half gallon cartons. I’ll have to make these this year and hopefully add them into a craft tradition.
What a great craft! I love it and not only is it fun, but kids can learn so much by watching birds! Thanks for sharing!
My son is obsessed with birds at the moment, so we will definitely be making this. What a great idea!
How fun is this? Super easy and the kids will have a blast decorating!
I had no idea it was craft month! I will have to get on this! Your bird feeder is awesome- it’s about that time here, too, and I cannot wait to put out seed for the birds!
I have been gathering ideas for Spring break. I have an almost empty milk jug and bird seed already. Prefect craft!
I am definitely trying this idea. Very inexpensive and fun to do. MY kids would love to do it.
Since you still have snow on the ground I know the birds will be excited to see these feeders out.
I didn’t know that March was National Craft Month. Love the bird feeder and especially the foam stickers. Those things are so convenient and you reminded me that I need to grab some more next time I’m at the craft store. Cool feeder!
How cute. We love our bird feeders.
I had no idea its national craft month! I bet the birds love your house!
I had no idea this was national craft month! More reason to craft away! Love the feeder
I made one of these years ago at school, and it hung in my tree for the longest time. I should make one with the kids for our house!
This would be such a fun spring craft to make. My two preschoolers love to make outdoor stuff like bird feeders.
Fun and easy way to make the local wildlife happy. This was really cute and a great way to re-use materials!
This is so very true… what a fun way to find and learn about local wildlife 😉
I had no idea it was craft month…too bad for me I’m not crafty at all, lol! This is a cute project by the way.
I just love how cute and easy this is ! And it’s the perfect craft for kids. I can’t wait to make ours!
We are so excited for the weather to warm up & spend time outdoors. This cute craft is perfect for welcoming the new nelson & all the birdies who will be joining us.
I remember making something like this as a kid, yet totally never thought about doing it with my kids. What a fun idea. Thanks for sharing…
Oh this is awesome. Love the upcycling and how cute. My kids would love to do this
I didn’t know it was national craft month. I like this bird feeder. We will probably just do our normal homeschool crafts.
I love crafting too! It is so awesome to be able to make cool things from scraps and trash!
I had no idea that March is National Craft Month! This bird feeder turned out really cute, I have no doubt that my kids would have a lot of fun making one!
Oh I’ve never thought about making this from milk jugs. Pretty awesome!
This is such a fun and easy idea. I didn’t know March was Craft month. As i always say ” you learn something new everyday”
I’ve got to make one of these with the kids. It’s so cute, and we can use it for learning. We’ll take turns trying to identify the birds!
I always enjoy watching and feeding the birds. I like how you can decorate your version any way you’d like!
This is a great craft for people with kids. It’s colorful, easy, and you can use it to teach them when the birds come around.
This is such a cute craft idea. I might make one for our 8th floor balcony so my son can see all the birds come by. We get a few visitors every now and then, but they don’t stay long.
I didn’t know it was National Craft Month! How did I miss it? I love how your bird feeder has the flowers of spring on it. Looks like a quick, easy and re-cycled craft. Love it!
That’s so much fun! It’s the perfect craft to do with the kids. It’s colorful, easy, and you get to watch birds!
I have made milk jug bird feeders before. It is a fun and easy craft idea.
